BP317 - BELLA MENTE 2018 SPECIFICATIONS Current name: Bella Mente 2018
The Ocean Race is the toughest test of a team in sport – and sailing's greatest round-the-world challenge. Since 1973, winning the Race has been an obsession for the world's best sailors – Olympic champions, record breakers and pioneers. With teams racing through the most extreme spots on the planet – closer to the astronauts in the Space Station than anyone else on land – and calling at iconic cities on 6 continents, The Ocean Race is a truly global sporting competition with adventure and sustainability at its heart, and sailors testing the limits of human ambition and performance.

British skipper Alex Thomson hosted a friendly, informal media breakfast this morning. He was on typically ebullient form, immaculately attired of course. He considers a course record is likely, the time to the Equator may be as little as six days - a record in itself. He revealed that one of his biggest worries is straying into the ice exclusion zone, not because of any threat of ice

Vestas are back in the Volvo Ocean Race after their against-the-odds comeback story in 2014-15. This time, their campaign is being run in full partnership with 11th Hour Racing, a programme of The Schmidt Family Foundation working to implement real change on marine health. Vestas 11th Hour Racing are led by the American duo of Charlie Enright and Mark Towill, who had their first taste of the Volvo Ocean Race in the last edition with Alvimedica. They ended that race on a high, adding a victory in the final ocean leg to their two In-Port Race wins, and for this edition, they have twin goals – to do well on the water and promote a sustainable message across the world.

Britain’s Dee Caffari will lead 'Turn the Tide on Plastic' in the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. Turn the Tide on Plastic is a mixed, youth focused team with a strong sustainability message, led by Britain’s Dee Caffari. The campaign, backed by the principle sustainability partner the Mirpuri Foundation, and Ocean Family Foundation, is dedicated to the issue of ocean health. The campaign is also supported by Sky Ocean Rescue who recently became a media partner to the team to help raise awareness of the issues our oceans face. The team’s guiding mission is to amplify United Nations Environment’s 'Clean Seas: Turn the Tide on Plastic' campaign throughout the eight months of the race. Caffari is building a multinational, 50-50 male-female squad, with the majority under 30 years of age. Alongside the sustainability focus, the messages around inclusivity in age and gender will be strong themes of a campaign that in sporting terms may not start as a favourite, but could easily surprise on the water.

Are you looking for sunny holiday destinations in Europe? Here are some secret sunny destinations in Europe you may not have thought of!
Sydney Harbour was awash with colour today as the revolutionary SailGP F50s of Australia, China, Great Britain, France, Japan and the United States lined up on the water together for the first time just one week out from the inaugural Sydney race.
When Paul Clitheroe and his crew on Balance edged over the finish line in Hobart on Wednesday 28 December at 18:00, one statistic at the Rolex Sydney Hobart was extended for another year. Not since 1965 has a crew successfully defended the Tattersall’s Cup, the much-coveted trophy awarded to the overall race winner on handicap.

Photos via Clapham Model Yacht Club © of Francis Firth Pond yachts are model wooden sailboats built for racing. They were popularised by small clubs in London in the 19th and 20thC. During the 1820’s a group of [sailing] enthusiasts – including Cooper the Gunsmith, shoemakers and other mechanics – met on Sundays to sail small boats, up to 2’6’’, on the Green Park Pond; finishing in time for a glass of ale at the White Horse Cellar in Piccadilly before public houses closed for Church Time at 11 a.m. Cooper is credited with introducing external lead ballast; it is tempting to picture him discussing his designs in the cellar. -via the history page of the London Model Yacht Club (Est. 1884) At the height of their popularity in the United States (the 1920-40s) they were a common sight in public parks. The yachts had class (size) ratings and were raced in international competitions, including the 1936 Olympics. The Marblehead-class (M-class) pond boat originated in 1932 and over the years, has became the popular example of a racing pond yacht. Sort of chest high. You know it when you see it. More info via a slideshow from the Marblehead Museum. The Lannan Gallery in Boston houses over 400 model boats (tugs, frigates, steam yachts, vintage pond boats as above and more) and an insane collection of nautical antiques; for sale. I have walked by it a million times and never went in until today (ring the buzzer, tip your hat etc...). No prices listed, you know the saying... Other neat stuff includes Morse Mark V diving helmets, lanterns, portholes, ships' wheels, fog horns, bells, beacons, sea chests etc. Your basic nautical lookbook pr0n... Pops has a few pond yachts of varying size. We managed to almost wreck a small one last summer when it blew into the standpipe in a storm. Unbelievably it popped out downstream a week later and Sis found it. Hurray.
